NOTE 5--

Trust Preferred Capital Securities. On March 25, 2002, James Monroe Statutory
Trust I, a subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing
redeemable trust preferred securities and purchasing the Company's junior
subordinated debentures, which are its sole assets. The Company owns all of the
Trust's outstanding common securities. On March 26, 2002, $5 million of the
trust preferred securities were issued in a pooled underwriting totaling
approximately $500 million. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of
interest which is set and payable on a quarterly basis. The interest rate for
the initial quarterly term was 5.59% and the current rate is 3.39%. The
securities have a maturity date of March 25, 2032, and are subject to varying
call provisions beginning March 26, 2007.

The Securities may be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy
determination purposes up to 25% of Tier 1 capital. The portion of the
Securities not considered as Tier 1 capital will be included in Tier 2 capital.
At September 30, 2002, all of the trust preferred securities qualified as Tier 1
capital.

The Company and the Trust believe that, taken together, the Company's
obligations under the junior subordinated debentures, the Indenture, the Trust
declaration and the Guarantee entered into in connection with the issuance of
the trust preferred securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by
the Company of the Trust's obligations with respect to the trust preferred
securities.

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from time
to time to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities,
which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related trust
preferred securities.

NOTE 6--

Common Stock Split. On July 25, 2002, the Company issued 613,195 additional
shares necessary to effect a 3 for 2 common stock split to shareholders of
record July 11, 2002. The earnings per common share for all periods prior to
July 2002, have been restated to reflect the stock split.

Private Placement Offering. At June 30, 2002 the Company, through a Private
Placement offering, raised $4.7 million in equity by the sale of 390 thousand
shares, as adjusted, of common stock at a price of $12.00 per share as, adjusted
for the 3 for 2 stock split. These shares have certain restrictions on their
sale for two years.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

This Management's Discussion and Analysis reviews the financial condition and
results of operations of James Monroe Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of
and for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Some tables
cover more than these periods to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission
disclosure requirements or to illustrate trends over a period of time. When
reading this discussion, reference should be made to the consolidated financial
statements and related notes that appear herein and to our consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There were no changes to the Company's critical accounting policies in the third
quarter of 2002. Critical accounting policies are those applications of
accounting principles or practices that require considerable judgment,
estimation, or sensitivity analysis by management. In the financial service
industry, examples, albeit not an all inclusive list, of disclosures that may
fall within this definition are the determination of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses, valuation of mortgage servicing rights, valuation of
derivatives or securities without a readily determinable market value, and the
valuation of the fair value of intangibles and goodwill. Except for the
determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company does
not believe there are practices or policies that require significant sensitivity
analysis, judgments, or estimations.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company maintains an allowance to absorb probable
loan losses inherent in the portfolio based on evaluations of the collectibility
of loans and historical loss experience. In addition, other factors considered
are delinquency trends, general economic conditions in the markets where loans
are made, loan mix, loan credit grades, and loan concentrations. All commercial
and commercial real estate loans that exhibit probable or observed credit
weaknesses are subject to individual review. If necessary, reserves would be
allocated to individual loans based on management's estimate of the borrower's
ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral and other sources
of cash flow. Any reserves for impaired loans are measured based on the present
rate or fair value of the underlying collateral. The Company evaluates the
collectibility of both principal and interest when assessing the need for a loss
accrual. Historical loss rates, based upon the greater of the Company's or peer
group experience, would be applied to other loans not subject to specific
reserve allocations. Since the inception of the Company in June 1998, the
Company has experienced one small loss in the commercial loan portfolio and
three in the consumer portfolio totaling $20,000 for 2001 and one small net loss
of $2,000 in 2002. The Company has not experienced material delinquencies or any
other event indicating a trend in the deterioration of the asset quality of the
portfolio.

Homogenous loans, such as consumer installment, residential mortgage loans, home
equity loans, and smaller consumer loans are not individually risk graded.
Reserves would be established for each homogenous pool of loans based on the
expected net charge-offs from a current trend in delinquencies, losses or
historical experience and general economic conditions. The Company has no
material delinquencies in these types of loans, and has not, since inception,
had a trend or an indication of a trend that would guide the Company in expected
material losses in these types of homogenous pools of loans.

The Company's allowance for loan losses is determined based upon a methodology
developed by management as described above and is approved by the board of
directors each quarter.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements of goals,
intentions, and expectations as to future trends, plans, events or results of
Company operations and policies and regarding general economic conditions. These
statements are based upon current and anticipated economic conditions,
nationally and in the Company's

                                       11
<PAGE>

market, interest rates and interest rate policies, competitive factors,
government agencies and other third parties, which by their nature are not
susceptible to accurate forecast, and are subject to significant uncertainty.
Because of these uncertainties and the assumptions on which this discussion and
the forward-looking statements are based, actual future operations and results
in the future may differ materially from those indicated herein. Readers are
cautioned against placing undue reliance on any such forward-looking statement.
The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement to
reflect occurrences or events, which may not have been anticipated as of the
date of such statements.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS SINCE DECEMBER 31, 2001 ARE:
-----------------------------------------------

         o    Assets grew $77.4 million (61%).
         o    Loans grew $29.2 million (34%).
         o    Deposits grew $66.1 million (58%).
         o    After interest rates dropped 4.75% in 2001, our net interest
              margin decreased to 4.50% in the third and fourth quarter of 2001
              and declined to 3.99% for the first nine months of 2002 and to
              3.75% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The sustained
              low interest rate environment coupled with the significant
              liquidity generated by the Company in 2002 has caused compression
              in the net interest margin.
         o    The Company raised $5 million of additional capital through the
              issuance of trust preferred securities by a subsidiary. The trust
              preferred securities reflect interests in 30-year junior
              subordinated debentures of the Company, with interest floating on
              a quarterly basis and a cap on the rate in the first five years of
              11%. The initial interest rate in the first quarter was 5.59% and
              was 5.39% for the quarterly interest period beginning September
              26, 2002
         o    At the end of the second quarter, the Company completed a Private
              Placement offering, raising $4.7 million in capital by the sale of
              390 thousand shares of common stock at a price of $12.00 per
              share, adjusted for the 3 for 2 stock split. These shares are
              generally subject to certain restrictions on resale for two years.
              This additional equity along with the $5 million in trust
              preferred securities sold in the first quarter enhances a modest
              capital base to support further growth.
         o    Asset quality remains strong with $2,217 of net charge offs in
              2002.
         o    The Company has excellent liquidity and adequate capital to
              support further growth.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets increased to $204.1 million at September 30, 2002, an increase of
$77.4 million from December 31, 2001, and an increase of $77.2 million from
September 30, 2001. The increase in assets since December 31, 2001 resulted from
the Company's emphasis on deposit generation as much as loan generation. During
the nine- months ended September 30, 2002, deposits increased $66.1 million over
December 31, 2001, with noninterest-bearing deposits increasing $21.5 million,
and interest-bearing deposits increasing $44.6 million. With the growth in
deposits, the Company was able to fund $28.8 million net increase in loans, add
$36.9 million to the securities portfolio.

Note:  Share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 3 for 2
       stock split declared June 12, 2002 payable July 25, 2002.


         For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company had net income of
$382,000, or $.21 per share on a diluted basis, compared with $337,000, or $.23
per share, for the comparable quarter of 2001. Earnings per share for the
quarter ended September 30, 2001, have been adjusted to reflect the 3 for 2
stock split in June 2002. The quarter ended September 30,2002, was the first
period in which the 390 thousand shares (as adjusted for the 3 for 2 stock
split) issued in the private placement completed in the second quarter were
outstanding. Earnings per share reflect the 3 for 2 stock split in June 2002.
Annualized return on average assets was .79% for the three-months ended
September 30, 2002, compared with 1.16% for the same quarter in 2001, and the
return on average equity was 8.49% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002,
compared with 11.51% for the third quarter of 2001.

         For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company had net
income of $892,000, or $.54 per share, compared to $803,000, or $.54 per share,
for the comparable nine-month period of 2001, both on a diluted basis, and as
adjusted to reflect the 3 for 2 stock split. Annualized return on average
assets was .73% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002, compared with


                                       13

<page>

1.04% for the same period in 2001, and the return on average equity was 8.39%
for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002, compared with 8.31% for the same
period of 2001.

         The Company continues to focus on managing its net interest margin,
especially during periods of changing interest rates. In the first nine months
of 2001, the Federal Reserve reduced interest rates an unprecedented eleven
times for an aggregate 450 basis point reduction in rates through December 31,
2001. These rate reductions had a direct impact on the rates earned on the
Bank's outstanding floating or adjustable rate loans, as well as new loans, and
on the rates earned on other investments. These dramatic reductions in a
relatively short period resulted in a reduction in the net interest margin,
which declined from 5.23% during the first nine-months of 2000 to 4.59% for the
same period of 2001, and to 3.99% for the first nine-months of 2002. Despite
these reductions, the Company's practice of managing its interest rate risk
process has mitigated the negative effect of such a severe declining rate
environment as reflected in Table 2. The impact on the Company's net interest
income due to changes in rates amounted to a decline of $949,000 for the first
nine-months of 2002 compared with the first nine-months of 2001. The Company
believes this to be a very acceptable exposure given the severity of the changes
in interest rates. Reference should be made to the comments in the interest rate
sensitivity management section contained herein for a discussion on the
Company's management of, and exposure to, changing interest rates.

NET INTEREST INCOME

         Net interest income is the difference between interest and fees earned
on assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Net interest income
is one of the major determining factors in the Bank's performance as it is the
principal source of revenue and earnings. Unlike the larger regional or
mega-banks who have significant sources of fee income, community banks, such as
James Monroe Bank, rely on net interest income from traditional banking
activities as the primary revenue source.

         For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, net interest income
increased $1.2 million, or 37%, to $4.6 million from the $3.3 million during the
same period in 2001, primarily as a result of increases in the volume of earning
assets, but partially offset by the effect of the sustained low interest rate
environment in 2002 compared with 2001. Total average earning assets increased
by $56 million, or 58%, from the nine-months ended September 30, 2001 to the
same period of 2002. The average yield on earning assets decreased by 138 basis
points reflecting the dramatic reduction in interest rates during 2001 compared
to 2002 where rates. Yields on federal funds and the securities portfolio
decreased by 257 and 110 basis points, respectively. Average loans outstanding
grew by $40 million, or 65%, during the first nine-months of 2002 compared to
the same period in 2001. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased 145 basis
points. The federal funds rate, which is the short-term liquidity yield,
reflected the most sensitivity to declining rates, while loan yields and the
securities yields declined, but not as significantly. This is due to the
composition of the loan portfolio being comprised of variable, fixed, and
adjustable rates, which are not all subject to immediate rate reductions. In the
case of the securities portfolio, the combination of call of some agency
securities where the proceeds were reinvested in similar securities but at lower
rates and the investment of excess liquidity into securities at current rates
has reduced the overall yield of the portfolio.

         Interest expense for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002 was $2.6
million compared with $2.2 million in interest expense for the comparable period
of 2001. This increase is predominately a result of the $47.6 million, or 74%
growth in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by the
149 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
Although deposit rates in our market peaked during the middle of 2000, the
Company's interest expense for deposits has lagged in


                                       15

<page>

repricing and/or resetting downward to reflect declines in market interest
rates. This lag is primarily the result of the Company's interest-bearing time
deposits, most of which have maturities of one year or less and which will not
immediately reprice at lower rates in a falling rate environment, but which
become eligible for repricing at lower rates during the 12 months following a
declining rate environment. In addition, market rates on deposit products have
not adjusted downward in the same proportion as the general level of interest
rates. These market forces prevent the Company from further lowering of deposit
rates resulting in a compression in the net interest margin.

         Table 2 shows the composition of the net change in net interest income
for the periods indicated, as allocated between the change in net interest
income due to changes in the volume of average assets and the changes in net
interest income due to changes in interest rates. As the table shows, the
increase in net interest income for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002, as
compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2001, is almost entirely due to
the growth in the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
The growth in earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities contributed a
positive $1.6 million but the lower rate environment and the compression between
the interest rates on earning assets and deposits resulted in a negative $353
thousand effect on net interest income.

THIRD QUARTER RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS. For the third quarter of 2002, net interest
income was $1.7 million compared to $1.2 million for the same quarter of 2001,
which represents a $.5 million increase or 40%. For these comparable quarters,
the yield on earning assets declined from 7.27% for the third quarter of 2001 to
5.99% in the third quarter of 2002 reflecting the significant decline in
interest rates that had occurred in 2001. The overall yield on loans dropped 113
basis points, the securities portfolio declined 155 basis points and the yield
on Federal funds and cash equivalents declined 178 basis points reflecting the
general decline in interest rates from last year to this year.

         Interest expense during these comparable quarters, third quarter 2002
versus third quarter 2001, increased $273,000 or 36%, from $753,000 in interest
expense to $1.03 million in interest expense primarily due to the $61.6 million
increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The overall cost of
interest-bearing liabilities decreased 112 basis points from 4.17% in 2001 to
3.05% in 2002.

The resulting effect of the changes in interest rates between the quarters ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in the volume and mix of earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a 3.75% net interest margin
in 2002 versus a 4.50% net interest margin in 2001. Interest rates in general
are approximately 178 basis points lower in the third quarter of 2002 compared
with third quarter 2001 as can be seen by the difference in the yield on Federal
funds sold and cash equivalents. This yield is the short-term liquidity yield
which demonstrates the level at which rates have changed between the comparative
quarter.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The provision for loan losses is based upon a methodology that includes
among other factors, a specific evaluation of commercial and commercial real
estate loans that are considered special mention, substandard or doubtful. All
other loans are then categorized in pools of loans with common characteristics.
A loss factor is applied to these loans which considers the greater of the
company or peer group historical charge off history, trends in delinquencies and
loan grading, current economic conditions, and factors that considers the
composition of the Company's loan portfolio.

         The methodology established for determining an appropriate allowance
for loan losses was approved by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
The quarterly provision is approved by the Board. The methodology is reevaluated
on a quarterly basis. Pending the development of a negative trend with respect
to past due loans or charge offs or significant changes in economic conditions,
the Company continues to maintain an allowance it believes is adequate but not
excessive.

         As reflected in Table 5 below, the allowance is allocated among the
various categories of loans in rough proportion to the level of loans
outstanding in such categories. Management considers the allowance to be
adequate for the periods presented.

TABLE 5

         The following table shows the allocation of the allowance for loan
losses at the dates indicated. The allocation of portions of the allowance to
specific categories of loans is not intended to be indicative of future losses,
and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category
of loans. See Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included
in this report for additional information regarding the allowance for loan
losses and nonperforming assets.

<PAGE>

         The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets and
accounts for the greatest portion of total interest income. At September 30,
2002, total loans were $115.3 million, a 34% increase from the $86.1 million of
loans at December 31, 2001 and a 57% increase from $73.6 million of loans at
September 30, 2001. In general, loans are internally generated with the
exception of a small percentage of participation loans purchased from other
local community banks. Lending activity is confined to our market of Northern
Virginia. The Company does not engage in highly leveraged transactions or
foreign lending activities nor does the Company generally make large unsecured
loans.

         Loans in the commercial category, as well as commercial real estate
mortgages, consist primarily of short-term (five year or less final maturity)
and/or floating rate commercial loans made to small to medium-sized companies.
We do not have any agricultural loans in the portfolio. There are no substantial
loan concentrations to any one industry or to any one borrower, or group of
related borrowers.

         Consumer loans consist primarily of secured installment credits to
individuals, residential construction loans secured by a first deed of trust,
home equity loans, or home improvement loans. The consumer portfolio has
consistently approximated 12-14% of the loan portfolio. See Note 4 to the
unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report for
additional information regarding the loan portfolio.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

         The fair value of the Company's securities portfolio increased $36.9
million to $59 million at September 30, 2002 from $22.1 million at December 31,
2001. The Company currently, and for all periods shown, classifies its entire
securities portfolio as Available-for-Sale. Increases in the portfolio have
occurred whenever deposit growth has outpaced loan demand and the forecast for
loan growth is such that the investment of excess liquidity in investment
securities (as opposed to short-term investments such as federal funds) is
warranted. In general, our investment philosophy is to acquire high quality
government agency securities or high-grade corporate bonds, with a maturity of
five to six years or less in the case of fixed rate securities. In the case of
mortgage-backed securities, the policy is to invest only in those securities
whose average expected life is projected to be approximately five to six years
or less. Mortgage-backed securities with a maturity of ten years or more are
generally adjustable rate securities. To the extent possible the Company
attempts to "ladder" the maturities of such securities.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT

         The primary objectives of asset and liability management are to provide
for the safety of depositor and investor funds, assure adequate liquidity, and
maintain an appropriate balance between interest sensitive earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet
the cash flow requirements of customers who may be depositors wanting to
withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be
available to meet their credit needs.

         We define liquidity for these purposes as the ability to raise cash
quickly at a reasonable cost without principal loss. The primary liquidity
measurement we utilize is called the Basic Surplus, which captures the adequacy
of our access to reliable sources of cash relative to the stability of our
funding mix of deposits. Accordingly, we have established borrowing facilities
with other banks (Federal funds) and the Federal Home Loan Bank as sources of
liquidity in addition to the deposits.

         The Basic Surplus approach enables us to adequately manage liquidity
from both tactical and contingency perspectives. At September 30, 2002, our
Basic Surplus ratios (net access to cash and secured borrowings) as a percentage
of total assets were approximately 13%, compared to the present internal minimum
guideline range of 10% to 12%.

         Financial institutions utilize a number of methods to evaluate interest
rate risk.  Methods range from the original static gap analysis (the
difference between interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities
repricing during the same period, measured at a specific point in time), to
running multiple simulations of potential interest rate scenarios, to rate shock
analysis, to highly complicated duration analysis.

         One tool that we utilize in managing our interest rate risk is the
matched funding matrix analysis or a modified version of the traditional GAP
analysis. The matrix arrays repricing opportunities along a time line for both
assets and liabilities. The longest term, most fixed rate sources are presented
in the upper left hand corner while the shorter term, most variable rate items,
are at the lower left. Similarly, uses of funds, assets, are arranged across the
top moving from left to right.


                                       22
<PAGE>


         The body of the matrix is derived by allocating the longest fixed rate
funding sources to the longest fixed rate assets and shorter term variable
sources to shorter term variable uses. The result is a graphical depiction of
the time periods over which we expect to experience exposure to rising or
falling rates. Since the scales of the liability and assets sides are identical,
all numbers in the matrix would fall within the diagonal lines if we were
perfectly matched across all repricing time frames. Numbers outside the
diagonal lines represent two general types of mismatches: liability sensitive in
time frames when numbers are to the left of the diagonal line and asset
sensitive when numbers are to the right of the diagonal line.

         At September 30, 2002, the Company is asset sensitive in the short term
and then becomes slightly liability sensitive. This is primarily caused by the
assumptions used in allocating a repricing term to nonmaturity deposits--demand
deposits, savings accounts, and money market deposit accounts. While the
traditional gap analysis and the matched funding matrix show a general picture
of our potential sensitivity to changes in interest rates, they cannot quantify
the actual impact of interest rate changes. The actual impact due to changes in
interest rates is difficult to quantify in that the administrative ability to
change rates on these products is influenced by competitive market conditions in
changing rate environments, prepayments of loans, customer demands, and many
other factors.

         Thus, the Company manages its exposure to possible changes in interest
rates by simulation modeling or "what if" scenarios to quantify the potential
financial implications of changes in interest rates. In practice, each quarter
approximately 14 different "what if" scenarios are evaluated which include the
following scenarios: Static Rates, Most Likely Rate Projection, Rising Rate
Environment, Declining Rate Environment, Ramp Up 100bp and 200bp over 12-months,
and Ramp Down 100bp and 200bp over 12-months scenarios. In addition, 8 rate
shock scenarios are modeled at 50 bp up and 50 bp down increments. At
September 30, 2002, the following 12-month impact on net interest income is
estimated to range from a positive impact of 5% to a negative impact of 7% for
the multiple scenarios, which remains within internal policy guidelines. This
process is performed each quarter to ensure the Company is not materially at
risk to possible changes in interest rates.

         The following are the projected potential percentage impact on the
Company's net interest income over the next 12 months for the most likely to
occur scenarios, but measured against a static interest rate environment as of
September 30, 2002. Clearly the Company is positioned to substantially improve
earnings if and when rates rise. With respect to further reductions in rates,
Most Likely scenario and the Ramp Down scenarios, the Company would experience
further negative implications on margins and earnings; however, the Company does
not believe that a 200 basis point decline is realistic given the already
extremely low interest rates. The Most Likely Scenario predicts that will remain
at the current levels until July 2003 and then increase 100 basis points in the
last half of 2003. Thus management believes the exposure to further downward
changes in interest rates are the least less likely than rates rising next year.
Regardless, the level of exposure to changes in interest rates in either
direction are within the policy guidelines established by the Company.

</TABLE>

         The increase in noninterest income for the three months ended September
30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001, excluding securities gains
amounted to $5 thousand. The major increase was in cash management fees which
amounted to $7 thousand. These fees are a function of the balances invested on
the corporate customers' behalf and are not a function of interest rates. For
the nine-month comparative periods, excluding securities gains, noninterest
income increased $66 thousand. The increases shown are primarily a result of the
increase in number of accounts and the volume of transactions processed.

          Noninterest expense increased $1 million or 47% from $2.2 million to
$3.2 million for the first nine-months of 2002, as compared to the same period
in 2001. The increase in salary and benefit expense of $567,000 is primarily the
result of staff merit increases for 2002, the additional staff for the third
branch opened in February 2002, and the addition of a drive-up/walk-up facility
added in the third-quarter of 2002. In addition, additional support staff has
been added due to the increase in the volume of business.

         Occupancy cost increased $131,000 for the first nine-months of 2002
compared with a year earlier due to annualized rent increases and the additional
facilities as described above. Equipment costs increased $76,000 for the same
comparative periods due to additional equipment and software required

                                       24

<PAGE>


for the additional facilities and personnel. Professional fees increased $52,000
for the comparative years due to additional regulatory assessments which are a
function of the size of the Bank, legal fee increase for general corporate
activities, the equity offering, and the trust preferred offering. With respect
to the increases in data processing, postage and supplies, and courier and
express services, the increases are due to the increase in the volume of
accounts and business transactions processed in 2002 versus 2001. The increase
in the state franchise tax is due to the increased capital of the Bank and the
downstream of $4 million in additional capital in June 2002 and the retention of
earnings. The franchise tax is based on approximately 1% of capital with some
adjustments.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

         The Company has reported a steady improvement in earnings since the
Bank opened on June 8, 1998. Positive earnings were reported in the ninth month
of operations and culminated with $125,000 of earnings in 1999 and $810,000 of
earnings for 2000. Earnings for 2001 were $1.1 million and earnings for the
first nine-months of 2002 were $892 thousand bringing the Company's retained
earnings to $2.2 million. One of the Company's initial strategies was to
restore the initial lost capital from the initial organization costs of $254,000
and the accumulated earnings loss of $452,000 for 1998. This has been
accomplished. The capital management today is to continue to look for the lowest
cost of capital while at the same time to raise capital in anticipation of the
growth of the Company. A further goal is to maintain capital ratios above the
minimum regulatory guidelines.

Capital Requirement. A comparison of Bancorp's and its wholly-owned subsidiary
bank (James Monroe Bank) regulatory capital at September 30, 2002, compared to
minimum regulatory capital guidelines is shown in the table that follows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS

         In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement 145, Recission of FASB No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 13, and Technical Corrections. This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4,
Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that
Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy
Sinking-Fund Requirements. This Statement also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44,
Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. This Statement amends FASB
Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between
the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required
accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are
similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other
existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections,
clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The
provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of Statement 4 shall be
applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions of this
Statement related to Statement 13 are effective for transactions occurring after
May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged.

         In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This
Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with
exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits
and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring)." The standard requires companies to recognize costs associated
with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date
of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The provisions of this Statement
are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December
31 2002, with early application encouraged.

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 147,
Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, an Amendment of FASB Statements
No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9 in October 2002. FASB Statement No.
72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, and
FASB Interpretation No. 9, Applying APB Opinions No. 16 and 17 When a Savings
and Loan Association or a Similar Institution Is Acquired in a Business
Combination Accounted for by the Purchase Method, provided interpretive guidance
on the application of the purchase method to acquisitions of financial
institutions. Except for transactions between two or more mutual enterprises,
this


                                       26

<PAGE>


Statement removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of both
Statement 72 and Interpretation 9 and requires that those transactions be
accounted for in accordance with FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations,
and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Thus, the requirement in
paragraph 5 of Statement 72 to recognize (and subsequently amortize) any excess
of the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and
identifiable intangible assets acquired as an unidentifiable intangible asset no
longer applies to acquisitions with the scope of this Statement. In addition,
this Statement amends FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to include in its scope long-term
customer-relationship intangible assets of financial institutions such as
depositor- and borrower-relationship assets and credit cardholder intangible
assets. Consequently, those intangible assets are subject to the same
undiscounted cash flow recoverability test and impairment loss recognition and
measurement provisions that Statement 144 requires for other long-lived assets
that are held and used.

         Paragraph 5 of this Statement, which relates to the application of the
purchase method of accounting, is effective for acquisitions for which the date
of acquisition is on or after October 1, 2002. The provisions in paragraph 6
related to accounting for the impairment or disposal of certain long-term
customer-relationship intangible assets are effective on October 1, 2002.
Transition provisions for previously recognized unidentifiable intangible assets
in paragraphs 8-14 are effective on October 1, 2002, with earlier application
permitted.

         This Statement clarifies that a branch acquisition that meets the
definition of a business should be accounted for as a business combination,
otherwise the transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition of net
assets that does not result in the recognition of goodwill.

         The transition provisions state that if the transaction that gave rise
to the unidentifiable intangible asset was a business combination, the carrying
amount of that asset shall be reclassified to goodwill as of the later of the
date of acquisition or the date Statement 142 was first applied (fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001). Any previously issued interim statements
that reflect amortization of the unidentifiable intangible asset subsequent to
the Statement 142 application date shall be restated to remove that amortization
expense. The carrying amounts of any recognized intangible assets that meet the
recognition criteria of Statement 141 that have been included in the amount
reported as an unidentifiable intangible asset and for which separate accounting
records have been maintained shall be reclassified and accounted for as assets
apart from the unidentifiable intangible asset and shall not be reclassified to
goodwill.

Item 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

         Within the ninety days prior to the filing of this report, the
Company's management under the supervision and with the participation of the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating/Financial Officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Operating/Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were adequate. There were no significant changes (including
corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses) in the Company's internal controls or in other factors subsequent to
the date of the evaluation that could significantly affect those controls.
